Brief Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for Adolescent OCD in Routine Clinical Practice

A brief 5-session CBT face-to-face intervention (therapist supported, involving workbooks) for adolescent Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The brief CBT consists of 5 sessions of 60 to 90-minutes, with the option of 2 additional booster sessions (also 60 to 90 minutes), spanning a total of 24 weeks. The intervention includes home tasks, completion of regular routine outcome measures and participants listening to audio-recordings of the therapy sessions. The intervention sessions are delivered by routine child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) practitioners and take place in NHS and NHS-commissioned child and adolescent mental health services.
